Here are 4 Different links to "Prickly Lettuce". Although it looks similar to what you have, the patterns of the flowering is different and the plant itself is a lot more narrow. Also, this plant does not flower until between July and September. There is a lot of information in the 4 links that I have provided. Read through them when you get a chance. This should help you be able to determine whether is is or ISN'T for SURE "Prickly Lettuce". Good luck and keep us posted.

I have some books that I don't think are packed away yet (I'm in the process of moving), and If I have a chance today, I will try and see if I can find your mystery plant in one of them. Also, keep in mind, that this may not be a "Weed" at all. It may be a regular plant that is just a "pest" to you because it is taking over your pasture. We may be looking in all the wrong places by looking under the "weed" category.

cake!!! Has anyone ever been to the Botanical Gardens up in Niagra Falls(or it might be Toronto) Canada? They have a BEAUTIFUL fully botanical clock in the middle of other sculptured pieces similar to these Peacocks. They are absolutely BREATH TAKING!

I absolutely 100% agree with Jan in that I think she should produce a book with the photographs and names, descriptions and locations of each thing. As long as she has the permission from the owner (or whomever made/grew the masterpiece) she should not have a problem. I think she would sell MILLIONS of copies!!!

Thanks so much Miriam for sharing these wonderful photos and that link with all of us! It has brought such pleasure to my day!!!

buying a house within the next year and this was something that we had discussed. Now, thanks to all of you guys, I have a better understanding of what to expect. Thank you for everyone's input!

remember the name) where a team of competitors go in and remodel rooms or houses. This definitely looks like the work of a professional! I'm sure that those 4 kids and the Mom and Dad are Very Thankful that you did this for them! Have you thought about doing into this professionally? You would be great at it!

Thanks for posting this so we could all enjoy it and get great inspiration from you!

(from reading this post). Some people have great success and others don't. As I mentioned before, When my husband and I mixed Household Vinegar with Dish Detergent and a pinch of Salt and sprayed it on Poison Ivy, it totally eliminated it. It was gone over night. I also think that zoning might play a part in some of this too. It seems like certain people in different "Garden Zones" have better luck with Vinegar than others.

darken the room, and it will also make it look a bit cheaper (think, Diner). I think the Blue makes it look fabulous!!!! The Blue and the White together look amazing together and just make me think of a bright, warm spring morning with birds sitting on a tree just outside the window singing a lovely song. I love that your kitchen chairs match and I think that adding a touch of the Blue to the corner shelves by the window over the sink would really tie everything together absolutely perfectly! Great job Gail! Thanks so much for posting this! You obviously put a lot of hard work in to this, and it shows!!! =D
